I can give you a quick rundown of how it's gonna work out. if the quarterback's good, it's gonna be great. If not, then you're gonna be 3 and out in 37 seconds..


Thanks. It remains to be seen if Sellers can take a step forward after last year with Shula. He has a good touch for throwing the long ball but was terrible at reading defenses and throwing over the middle and short out patterns. And, he tries to run too often. Of course, our OL stunk. If Briles can’t get him going, there’s backup Cutter and Duckworth (4* or 5* freshman that LSU heavily recruited).

Who else would they get? Heupel is the reason people don’t see the Vols as an easy win anymore.

Kiffin, Dooley, Jones, Pruitt…all failures

Tennessee isn’t a place where just anybody can win

You act like missouri is some landing place. If your little nerdy arse coach does well enough someone will take him

I never mentioned Missouri

Tennessee isn’t an easy place to win big at, and that’s been proven over the last 7 decades

Miles and Oregon won big at LSU. Put them in Knoxville and they’d both be fired without titles

Because he looks like family.

It's interesting to me how much Alabama and Tennessee fans blasted Brian Kelly in recent years, when you look at the winning percentage of each.

I would also note that BK was fired in year 4, whereas DeBoer just got an extension and Heupel has received 3 extensions since being hired.


Josh Heupel at Tennessee - .692

Brian Kelly at LSU - .708

Kalen DeBoer at Alabama - .714

We still have him around, because it keeps low IQ, inbred Bammer cocksuckers making themselves look like idiots by making posts like yours.

Next question?

Who are they going to hire? Outside of Cignetti, Smart, and maybe Day, everyone is Brian Kelly and James Franklin.

What was really interesting to see was how well Brian Kelly was gonna do at LSU when he was hired. He was a "Can't miss, homerun hire" by most LSU fans on this board the day he was hired.

It’s all relative to where you are and where you’ve been. I’d take that 5 year run all day long at Auburn

What are you talking about? 5 different coaches at Tennessee have won the SEC. Thats more variety than Florida and UGA.

Day is a very average coach. OSU is just stacked with talent yet he has only won one 'ship. Cignetti and Smart are alone at the top for now, but some would say Cignetti needs to have another great year to stay at the top.
